1 CONTENTS Stormwater in the Schoolyard Lesson 3 QUEEN ANNE ELEMENTARY Teacher Guide Local Stormwater Systems Lesson 5 Stormwater in Our Community Lesson 6 How to Use This Guide This guide supports the Community Waters Science Unit Teacher Manual with information, maps, and images specific to your school and neighborhood. It is written for teachers; its goal is to provide a better understanding of what is happening with stormwater in and around your school. The points of interest and walking field trip route are suggestions and should be adapted as desired. If you have any questions about these maps, accompanying lessons, or stormwater around your school, contact IslandWood staff at communitywaters@islandwood.org.
2 Stormwater in the Schoolyard Lesson 3 This map and points of interest (photos and info) can be used to guide your class exploration of the schoolyard. You will find the student worksheet for this lesson following the teacher guide version. Please use the extra space on the pages to add your own notes and questions! DOWNHILL A B C DOWNHILL D E F G
3 A. Storm Drain: This one seems in a bit of disrepair. Is it still functioning properly? If not, what is happening that could have negative effects? B. Dumpsters, and nearby storm drain: Have students consider the possibility of trash from the dumpsters mixing with stormwater or getting into the drains. Do you think it matters that the dumpsters are this close to the drain? Why or why not? C. Downspout: Unlike the downspouts on the main buildings, the ones on the portables flow straight onto the ground. Have students observed this before? Does it cause any large puddles or other problems?
4 D. Sloped roof and pervious ground: Consider how the rain interacts with this roof. Where does the water run off and what happens then? What would be different if the ground underneath was paved? E. Garden: How do the gardens help with stormwater, or not? What would be different if they were not there? Consider that vegetation slows stormwater by helping it soak into the ground and holding soil in place with its roots. However, anything that is put in the garden or on the plants may be washed off including chemicals or fertilizers, if they are used. Presumably, school gardens have few or no chemicals. F, G. Storm Drains (various deisgns): There are several drains in the schoolyard with different styles. How many different designs can you find? Is one more effective than the other? Why might they be different? Try pouring some water onto each one and watch what happens. Which one seems to work the best?
5 Mapping Your Schoolyard Queen Anne Name: Date: Include on your map: Symbols from the Key including flow of water, surfaces, and storm drains. Partially pervious surfaces can be shown with less dots. Label locations of litter, pollution and places where puddles form. Sketch any specific stormwater problems you see or are aware of. Map Key Direction of water flow Storm Drain Add your own symbol here!
6 Local Stormwater Systems Lesson 5 Teacher Overview What happens with the Stormwater Pipes around your school? The storm drains (blue dots) at your school enter combined wastewater and stormwater pipes (green lines ending in orange lines). Some of the combined pipes flow north while others head east but they all end up entering a large treatment plant pipe (red) that flows north alongside Lake Union. Where does your stormwater runoff end up? Combined wastewater and stormwater in the treatment plant pipe (red) is pumped to the West Point Sewage Treatment Plant where it is treated before entering Puget Sound offshore from Discovery Park. In extreme weather events, the large amounts of stormwater entering the system can cause a combined sewer overflow (CSO) in which the stormwater mixed with sewage dumps directly into Lake Union at Galer Street, near West Ewing Mini Park or Salmon Bay (yellow circles on map). The stormwater in your area that falls along the shores or overflows with wastewater into Lake Union travels over time through Salmon Bay and the Chittenden Locks to the Puget Sound. The map on the next page shows where the runoff from different parts of the city ends up. Student Maps for Lesson 5 Color maps have been created for use with your students (provided and/ or available on communitywaters.org). We suggest students work through them in the following order: 1. Storm Drains Map This map helps students see that the storm drains connect to the combined stormwater and wastewater pipes. 2. Queen Anne Neighborhood Combined Pipes Map The students can follow the arrows on the combined pipes on this map until they merge with the red treatment plant pipe. 3. Treatment Plant Pipes and Overflows Map This map shows where the combined stormwater and wastewater ends up and places it could end up overflowing along the way.
7 Video: Since the stormwater from your school could end up in Lake Union if a CSO occurs we suggest watching the Drained: Urban Stormwater Pollution video (OPTION B) from 0:00 to 2:11 during Lesson 5. Point out to your students that the CSO during a big storm would have everything described, PLUS everything from the sewers (including human waste). You can find this video linked on communitywaters.org or at Please Note: The pipes information provided here is our best estimate of the stormwater flow in your community based on the information we have currently. If you encounter more information in the course of your investigation please let us know so we can update future versions of this document. Lesson 5: Stormwater Runoff Destination Map Queen Anne has a yellow star around it on the map.
8 Stormwater in Our Community Lesson 6 Please use this map and points of interest as suggestions for your walking field trip, recognizing there may be other things of importance to note in other areas. It may be useful to bring the stormwater pipes map with you for reference. Questions posed are intended to be posed to students as desired. F E C D B A DOWNHILL Suggested Route: Exit front of school, turn right on Boston Street. Cross to opposite corner (both Bigelow Ave N and Boston St). Continue on Boston St to end of block, then turn left on 5 th Ave N. At the end of the block, cross the street to the overlook. After observing the view, continue up Lynn St for two blocks, then turn left on 4 th Ave N to continue back to school. (Alternatively, if kids are tired or you are short on time, take Bigelow Ave N south back to Boston St.)
9 Points of Interest A. Storm Drains in street: Storm Drains move water into underground pipes to take it somewhere else. Anything that gets carried into the drain may end up in a local stream, lake, or Puget Sound. Why do you think the drain was built in this location? Where does water come from that goes into this drain? Why might it have been placed in this place? Is the drain working properly? What is in the drain? B. Rock wall: Rock walls are sometimes built to hold sloped ground in place, and if they are planted, plant roots help hold soil together rather than washing away. Can students recognize these strategies here? C. Storm Drain: Here s another! Look across the street to see where the water might be going.
10 D. Overlook: From here, one can see the lay of the land below Queen Anne. Lake Union, the Ship Canal, Gas Works Park, Portage Bay, and the I-5 Bridge are all visible. This is an excellent opportunity for students to visualize the landscape at a wide scale and think about how water would flow on it. If you have completed Lesson 11 with students, they should know that in the Queen Anne neighborhood, storm and sewer water actually are both directed into the same pipes and diverted to West Point Treatment Plant. This may be too complicated to bring up on this trip, but you can talk about what would happen to water here if there were no pipe system. Do any of the students swim in Lake Union? How might what gets into stormwater at your school affect the bodies of water you are looking at? E. Large Tree: On the corner of Lynn and Bigelow is a tree that is bigger than most in the neighborhood. You could discuss the ways that trees intercept rainwater, and hold soil in place with their extensive root system. F. Street with little tree cover: Compare the earlier blocks to this one, which is at one of the most uphill points in the neighborhood. How might the lack of large trees here affect the stormwater on this street?
